BJP Spokesperson spoke to TIMES NOW before Jaitley presented the Union Budget in Parliament and said, "Fiscal discipline and mindless populism...I hardly believe can be husband and wife. They cannot co-exist together and this Budget will push India's growth story ahead."

The UPA government in its Union Budget waived the loans for farmer before the 2011 Lok Sabha elections, which brought them in back in power. Will the BJP government walk the same path?

Patra said, "I cannot preempt that and will wait for the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to announce Budget document."

He also referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's interview to TIMES NOW, where he said that sometimes some calculations are not right.
